Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Here's my Steamroller.
Took off the decals, added flat bars, and added a Brooks saddle and grips.
I love this bike

I've had mine 3 months and I put a B17 on, tried a few different cogs and I got some more narrow drops but I have some pursuit bars and a shorter stem on order. I also started with single strap clips and changed to double strap toshi's recently and that made a huge improvement in my ride. I might change my tires eventually. Eventually I'll do the cog and crank so the whole thing will be a changed eventually. I'm not unhappy with anything on there just slowly customizing.
